Trump gets 2 scoops of ice cream, everyone else gets 1 -- and other top lines from his Time interview
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump is living every child's dream: More ice cream.
According to an extensive interview with TIME Magazine, Trump's White House staff has settled into Trump's routine and know his desires, sometimes before he does,
For example: Trump takes two scoops of ice cream with his chocolate cream pie, TIME reported, while everyone else around the table gets just one.
Trump casts himself throughout the interview as America's businessman, someone who is bringing his private-sector savvy to the White House to spur growth and create jobs. That focus extends to faulty digital launching systems on aircraft carriers -- "Time and material means you're going to get your ass kicked" -- to arms deals with unlikely African leaders.
TIME reported that Trump brought up how he is trying to mint an arms deal with an African leader who has decades-old human rights concerns, all in the name of spurring American business. Trump declined to name the country.

The dominance thing really shows deep insecurity. We can break this guy. Real soon, I hope.

Yikes.

(7,524 posts)Of all the things to rip him over, this is minor. I'd expect that the staff would be attentive to the President's preferences. I mean, if he was celiac, you don't serve him croutons on his salad, if you know he likes extra sauce, that's a nice thing.
But this is a fascinating look into his character that he seems to need "just a little extra" of what everyone else gets. Normally if the President were so concerned with the fact that the pie needed more ice cream, he'd be concerned that everyone else get it too. It's subconscious elitism that strums his ego strings.
I would think under most circumstances, the President would be more concerned with the event and the guests than the ratio of food specifically provided on their particular plate.

(2,857 posts)Selfishly wanting to have more than everyone else, he mandates that nobody else is equal. Very child like.

Is he still meeting with Pope Francis this month? I hope Pope Francis does it.

I would troll this two, and when he ups the ante, everyone would quietly note that he's a jack-off.

Plus it may be some sort of idiotic protest against Michelle Obama's nutrition. Several republican idiots defiantly announced they would serve their families dessert as a protest.

(45,411 posts)and the type of guy who adds ice cream to all that cream would have the grim reaper close by at all times.
He's the type who eats steaks well done with ketchup, and uses a knife and fork for pizza like an asshole. And New Yorker that he is, he goes to Famiglia, a chain pizzeria.
And he's been selling weapons all across the Middle East and Africa since day one. He's approved arms deals that Obama had declined due to human rights concerns.

(17,984 posts)Pence eats his fruit salad while tRump shovels ice cream and pie into his gob. What do Ivanka, Don Jr, and Eric think about all this? Are they just crossing their fingers waiting for a heart attack and their payday? I know this is no where near a "normal" family, but you would think someone might show a modicum of concern.

(90,762 posts)I think Two-scoops Trump can be a reflection of that. Not so much his eating habits, but everything about him is in the excess.

(5,810 posts)No guest with any manners would dare ask for more, but it is perfectly obvious when dessert is served who got the biggest portion. He always has to have the flashiest, the biggest, the best. Remember the chocolate cake? It wasn't just chocolate cake...it was the best. And if someone who was there could tell us, tRump probably got the biggest hunk. What a boor! He just sickens me the more I hear about him. No wonder Melania stayed in NYC. I would avoid being with tRump like the plague.

And the worthless fuck found out the strawberries were missing when he tried to get another helping of them.

Donald: We can't let her outdo you again. She ate a 10 pound meatball sub in 7 minutes. Maybe you can eat a 20 pound meatball sub.
Don't let them outdo you. Every meal. Every meal. Be the biggest eater in the world!!
